After receiving Xuantai's letter, Mei and Shu quickly found many skilled craftsmen to go to Wu'an County with them.

About seven days later, the two of them arrived at Fairy Island.

"What a coincidence, I met you right after I landed on the island." Shu Rong looked at Mei Xichen and said.

"Yes, as soon as I heard the news about Long Er, I rushed over immediately."

While the two were talking, Xuantai came over from the temple on Xiandao.

This temple is full of incense and named Anfu Temple. It is the only temple on Xiandao. It has a long history and many people come to burn incense and worship Buddha every day.

But since groundbreaking was about to begin, Xuantai ordered the army to surround the place and not let anyone in or out.

"Shall you go back to the Golden Palace with me first, or go to Anfu Temple first?" Xuantai looked at the two people and asked.

"Go directly to Anfu Temple." The two said almost in unison.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Along the way, Mei and Shu were very nervous and a little excited. After searching for Long Er for so many years, they finally had some clues, so they really hoped that this excavation could find Long Jiaojiao's whereabouts.

"By the way, brother-in-law, who discovered this?" Mei Xichen asked curiously.

"You'll know when you get there." Xuantai gave Mei Xichen a pass first.

"Okay, if Long Er can be found, he will be rewarded heavily." Mei Xichen followed Xuantai's footsteps and the three of them quickly arrived at the inner courtyard of the temple.

"Uncle, come and see, according to my calculation, the rock connected to the seabed is here." Ling Xiner waved towards Xuantai and shouted happily.

"Really?" The three people hurriedly ran over. At this time, Mei Xichen ordered the craftsmen to survey the location to ensure that everything was safe.

"Uncle, who are these two?" Ling Xiner looked Mei Xichen and Shu Rong up and down, then turned to look at Xuantai.

"These are your Aunt Long's two husbands." Xuantai pulled the two of them to Ling Xiner and introduced each other.

"Is Xin'er already that old?" Shu Rong looked at her suspiciously.

"Not only is she so old, I also told you that she and Zhang Yunyuan got married just a few days ago." Xuantai had a smile on his brows.

"How is this possible?" Mei Xichen looked at Xin'er in disbelief with her eyes widened.

"I said, what are you staring at? They are already married, and you, an uncle, don't show any sympathy."

"Yes, it should be expressed." Mei Xichen paused in surprise.

At this time, the craftsmen on the side had completed the survey.

"Your Majesty, according to our speculation and reference to the drawings, there should be no problem with this position. We can dig down from here."

"Okay, then let's start construction quickly. What are you waiting for?"

Mei Xichen and Shu Rong waved the rest of the people over and started digging for more than a month.

The distance from the temple to the bottom of the island is relatively smooth, and the excavation is easy, but after passing through the island and connecting with the rocks, it is not an ordinary effort.

The craftsmen could only use chisels to chisel bit by bit, and the project was very slow. Therefore, Mei Xichen and Shu Rong kept waiting at the temple, almost eating and living here.

Time passed very quickly. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. The vertical part of the rock had been excavated successfully. A hole was dug out from the rock that two people could go down side by side. However, it required the help of a ladder to complete.

Then the project entered a new stage. This is a corner, and the rock is not that long. Therefore, you must be extremely careful when digging. If you are not careful, water may leak. Fortunately, because the craftsmen are experienced, there is nothing to worry about. Did not happen.

After reaching the truly oval-shaped rock, the commander-in-chief of the craftsmen came to Mei and Shu to ask for permission to dig immediately.

"Open, what are you waiting for? But be careful not to touch the inside." Mei Xichen warned again and again.

"According to the order."

After another ten days of digging, a hole with more than one person's space was finally carved out of the oval rock.

After hearing this, Mei and Shu insisted on going into the rock to find out, regardless of their personal safety and everyone's dissuasion.

"I'll go, you just need to wait outside." Mei Xichen looked at Shu Rong impatiently.

"Why? Didn't I contribute to such a big project?" Shu Rong rolled his eyes at Mei Xichen and retorted.

"Stop arguing, let Xin'er go down with you. If there is a water leak, you two will not sink to the bottom with her." Xuantai said after a moment of silence.

"Okay, listen to my brother-in-law." Mei Xichen nodded in agreement.

So the three of them came to the rock tunnel under the leadership of a craftsman.

No one had ever entered this secret room before Mei and Shu came in, so the craftsmen didn't know what was inside.

Mei Xichen and Shu Rong walked into the secret room one after another. The secret room was not very big, and the ever-burning lanterns were lit inside, which looked like someone had deliberately arranged it.

There is a sarcophagus in the middle. On the left side of the sarcophagus is a tea table and two chairs. On the right side is a bookshelf. There are also some bottles and jars on the bookshelf that may be items left behind by the Sato Demon Moment.

Tai Chi diagrams and Bagua diagrams hang on the walls.

"Shu Rong, let's open the sarcophagus. Long'er must be here." Mei Xichen said and walked towards the sarcophagus.

He stood on one side of the sarcophagus and motioned Shu Rong to push the lid open with him.

Maybe they were just ordinary people, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't shake the coffin lid at all.

"This won't work. Why don't we ask my brother-in-law to help?" Shu Rong was a little anxious.

"Okay." After saying this, Mei Xichen ordered the craftsman just now to call Xuantai down.

Xuantai walked in after about a stick of incense.

He motioned for Mei Xichen and Shu Rong to stand aside, and he came to the front of the sarcophagus alone.

"Brother-in-law..."

Shu Rong hesitated at this moment. He placed all his hopes on this sarcophagus. He couldn't even imagine what he would do if it was empty or if it wasn't Long Jiaojiao herself?

"Serong, I understand how you feel at this moment. You have been waiting for so many years, isn't it just for this moment? Don't hesitate, I'm going to open it." Xuantai pushed the coffin lid out with all his strength.

Mei Xichen and Shu Rong were standing in the distance. They couldn't see what was inside the coffin. At this moment, they both looked at Xuantai. They were watching his expression, as if they wanted to find out what was inside the coffin. Answer.

"Come and see, it's Long'er."

When Xuantai said this, the two of them were relieved.

"Let me take a look." Shu Rong took the lead to come to the sarcophagus and looked inside. He saw Long Jiaojiao lying in the sarcophagus as if she was asleep. Her body was not rotten or damaged.

At the same time, Mei Xichen also came to Long Jiaojiao, and he gently touched her breath with his hand.

He raised his head and looked at Xuantai: "Brother-in-law, can Long'er still wake up?"

"I can't say for sure. Logically speaking, it was the second time Tu Yu released Long Er to meet Shu Rong. From this point of view, she can wake up, but we have to find a way to crack it. .”

"Look at the bottles and jars on the bookshelves. Let's take them back and show them to Hong'er and my mother-in-law. Maybe there is something we can do."
